LuAnn's Twitter was EVERYTHING. She really was live tweeting throughout the episode and it is a hilarious read. Bethenny v Heather is interesting because Bethenny reallllllly doesn't give a sh*t about Heather and Heather is so, so pressed about that.

Well, well, well...Kim Richards on Dr. Phil was everything train wreck TV is and more. I'll do this in point form what we learned in the interview: - Kim's "story" about how she got arrested had about as many holes in it as a colander. And Dr. Phil was not letting her get away with any of her lies. - Kim blamed watching the reunion episodes, then blamed her destroyed relationship with Kyle, for falling off the wagon. - Kim admitted that she had fallen off the wagon prior to the events of the past weeks and that she'd drank wine, alone, at home, over the last several months. - Kim denied that she lied about her sobriety at the reunion. And then, when Dr. Phil pressed her, she said it "was a lie and not a lie" that she hasn't struggled with her sobriety. Kim then blamed the other women for "being mean" to her. - Kim's son and daughters all said they didn't think Brandi was the best influence on Kim. Kim fiercely defended Brandi. - Kim said if she couldn't handle the pressure of the show she'd walk away. When Dr. Phil told her she clearly can't handle the pressure she said she can handle it and that falling off the wagon doesn't mean she can't handle it. - Kim's son did, indeed, out her abuse of pills and occasional marijuana use, in addition to her drinking, which Kim did not deny. - Kim's daughters Brooke ripped into her for being "so f*cking picky" about which rehab Dr. Phil was telling her he'd send her to. - Kathy Hilton was at the interview in the adjoining hotel room and is clearly a problem because she was getting in the way of Kim's daughter scream some sense into Kim. - Dr. Phil left the interview after Kim stormed out and Kim put on her fake Beverly Hills matron bullsh*t about how much she admired him. - Kim later took his offer of rehab, but then went back and forth about wanting a private room, a different rehab, then said no. - Dr. Phil showed the rehab he intended Kim to go to, a stunning sober living centre in Malibu right on the beach. Overall, it was all the classic Kim Richards horseshit that she always spews. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I don't love Gamble, but there is no denying that she brings a lot to the show and is multifaceted. Pettifleur on the other hand just sucks in the worst way. She sucks the joy out of watching. She's the new Andrea.

RH of Melbourne Really good episode! It was very interesting to see the VT's of Janet and Lydia and Jackie saying that Gina uses Gamble as a puppet...and for Gina to be confronted about that last episode...and then for her to do exactly what they accused her of when she told Gamble to ask Pettifleur about whether she's sensitive about race and her height when they were in the car going to Derby Day. Chyka is a very valuable addition to the show because of the access she affords the cameras into truly glamorous events. I like Gamble's relationship with her stepson, it's very sweet and funny and genuine. I enjoyed what she said about Rick: "If I was going to be a golddigger I wouldn't have been with him because he'd already been dug." That was witty. Pettifleur is a disgusting bitch. She really doesn't have a nice word for anyone who isn't tripping over themselves to tell her she's fantastic. I thought what she said about Gamble's sister Tempest ("It was too subtle, she may need to go in for another lift very soon.") was really mean, really nasty and showed what she's really like. I hope we never hear about her f*cking book again. Janet was hilarious at the hen's night, she is such a cougar it's ridiculous. And she was very classy when Tempest apologized to her. It goes to show that there are some housewives who can act like mature women and move on from conflict. And Janet was not wrong when she said that Gamble was the one perpetuating the rumours as that's exactly what she did. Gina clearly hit a nerve with Gamble. Hmmmm. It now emerges that Lydia's husband Andrew was undergoing heart surgery when the season was filmed and that's why he's absent. It makes sense now. But Lydia is irrelevant and hasn't contributed a damn thing this season. Looks like some truth comes out next week!

If that's true then she is totally and utterly screwed. Until she admits she has a real problem and takes responsibility for it she will not recover. In any case she should not be returning to the show. She is a liability to the show and her children and herself.

I just hope Kim actually sees this through. She hasn't managed to before and I hope she's had her wake up call. And it's time to leave public life behind. The pressure is clearly too much for her.

Kim has posted on Instagram photos of her and her son where she alludes to his struggles.

That's disgusting. Kim is a liar and an attention whore to bring her kids on television and do this to them. Whoever is advising her has made a serious error in judgment. And if this article is at all accurate about how the filming went it really goes to show what a lousy person Kim is: screaming at her own children who level with her. And then her son, who has serious mental health concerns, apparently divulges that Kim is smoking pot and taking pills? If it's true I'm not shocked at all. What a pig. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3052932/Moment-Kim-Richards-storms-Dr-Phil-tears-calls-bad-mother-following-drunken-arrest.html

Lori Loughlin is absolutely right about getting a good financial deal for the show - not only does she deserve it but everyone associated with the show does. And the thing about Lori Loughlin is that she's very well off, financially. She doesn't need the show.

RHoNYC Another great episode. The battle of the brunches was so lame. Bethenny's Hampton's house is gorgeous and undermines the whole "living in hotels" storyline even further. Her new apartment will be fantastic as well. She has great taste that's consistent: white and light and marble. Lord knows Bethenny earned those millions the good old fashioned way and spent many a year in that tiny apartment with the crappy old parquet floor...not unlike the apartment Kristen inhabits now. Dorinda is great: "I just listened to these old bitches fight the whole time." - amazing. I really hope her big fatty boyfriend doesn't end up being a big fatty jerk because I like him and Dorinda together. They're kinda cute. I have always loved LuAnn and she's just even more delicious that ever this season. LuAnn just throws on a statement necklace, secure in the millions she has in the bank after unloading her old Hamptons house, and has a great time. That's fabulous. She's fabulous. What a winner. Divorce has humbled Ramona and it's made her so much more likeable. It's terrible that her family basically fell apart, but thank goodness she finally got real with herself and has come right down to earth. The ladies do talk a lot of sh*t about Sonja's delusional ass...and the thing is she doesn't really do that to them so I think it's a tad unfair. Sonja is still a huge financial disaster - but she isn't exactly mean or cruel. Carole is so pathetic lusting after these young guys when she has as much sex appeal as a wet umbrella. Sonja she ain't. Kristen is totally irrelevant and was in the show for a grand total of 45 seconds. Good lord she should have been fired after last season she is useless! Kelly Killoren Bensimon - goodness, bless her, she still seems batsh*t crazy.

Fortunately, I always held the opinion that Marlo was a disgusting criminal who shouldn't be glorified on television.

RHoMelbourne So much happened in this episode: Ben and Jackie have a very cute relationship and it's clear they've grown up together. Jackie's obsession with the word "couture" and everyone else's ability to mock it - is reunion fodder in the making. Lydia's home renovation...is it just me or did the house appear as if nothing had changed aside from some mirrors and candelabras thrown in? Compared to what I recall of Lydia's house in season 1, it really doesn't look like they did a damn thing aside from some appliances and countertops. It's a pity when a housewife overblown something, and Lydia's been droning on about this renovation - it can only lead the viewer to disappointment. Janet and her son, Jake, launching their teas (which are actually on sale, unlike Pettifleur's "book") was really heartwarming because Jake has surely been through hell and some of the worst medical experiences that a person can go through and survive. Even something as simple as allowing his photograph to be taken is a big deal for someone in Jake's position, though his treatment has been incredibly successful. I wish him and Janet such good luck with this venture for it will do great work for burns patients. Gamble and her sex party photos...here's the thing: if there weren't any out there, she wouldn't have freaked out like she did and screeched for Gina to be her backup and shake Carlos down to find out what he'd seen. And Gamble casually throws out that she's done some Playboy photos? I mean, really. Jackie spoke the most sense to Gamble: if there's anything out there that could be misconstrued, she's f*cked. And I feel safe in thinking that there very well might be. Pettifleur tried, yet again, to try and start something with Gina. And yet again, it just did not work. Nobody believes that Gina is a racist and everyone believes that Pettifleur is a humourless bitch. And let's be honest, her style is the tackiest I have seen on the RH franchises (including New Jersey). I think Chyka showed her ass a bit when she and Pettifleur flipped out at Gina naming shoes after them. Pettifleur has no brand, her name was used for some jewelry sold in the Philippines. Chyka just seemed pissed that she hadn't thought to cash in on her name before. Janet just wanted to not have the "nana shoe"...and that I can understand. That said, Gina's shoes were boring and as run of the mill as they get. I loved Jackie's helicopter ride - too much!

Nah, I bet it's water...but she has no shame. She should be locked in her house consulting with her lawyers about how she's going to get out of the legal mess she's gotten herself into. But oh no, the PR machine is already starting with the Daily Mail reporting that Kim binge watched the RHoBH reunion and that it tipped her over the edge and that Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump are to blame because they stressed her out...I mean, what a joke. The only person who holds any blame in this situation is Kim Richards. She's the adult. She's the addict. If she couldn't handle the stress she simply needed to get off the show. It isn't as if she actually needs the money, she has alimony of $23,000 a month coming in regularly from Gregg Davis according to the book House of Hilton.

She's out and about and getting behind the wheel of a car the day after she kicked a police officer:

Nobody is surprised at this. Kim and her filthy addict self has been on full tilt the entire season and her nasty behaviour only acted like a spotlight on the ugly truth she tried, in vain, to conceal. If ever there was a reality show participant who, for their own sake, should be fired, it's Kim Richards. Having her for next season would only glorify and validate her addiction and awful behaviour. I don't mock Kim's addiction issues - I mock her evil, nasty, sh*tty behaviour which is not necessarily wholly related to her addiction to drugs/alcohol/whatever. Just because Kim has issues with drugs/alcohol/whatever does not give her a free pass on all the awful behaviour she's pulled. Let's get real: Kim is a bad person. Kim is dangerous. She's dangerous to herself, her family and the community at large. It's a good thing she refused to leave the Beverly Hills Hotel - imagine if her drunk ass had driven around drunk and killed someone? Kim tried to imply that Lisa Rinna had "a record"...well Kim, the only one with a record is you. A criminal record. Stopppppp itttttttt Cat! You've taken the words out of my mouth!

I totally disagree. LuAnn took Ramona's random apology, said in public, in the middle of LuAnn's estate sale, for what it's worth and said she would not forget what Ramona had said in the past. That's not shady, that's intelligent. And nobody knows what happens in a marriage except the two people in it. How you've chosen to characterize LuAnn's marriage could just as easily be said of Ramona's.

RHoNYC Another good episode and I'm glad we're jumping right into the action because it certainly felt organic. Bethenny and Ramona are always going to have some kind of wild tension between them because they are so Type A. I do prefer Ramona because Bethenny seems really bitter about everything and her "I'm living in hotels!" storyline is nonsense, she could have found an executive rental in about 30 minutes that she could have rented for the duration of her condo renovations for far cheaper than what these hotels are costing her. I love LuAnn's house. Love it. It's spectacular. That view! I don't think Sonja's got great taste in real estate: her snide remark about LuAnn's house not being an estate like the last one and then crowing about her balcony in her own parking lot adjacent townhouse...sigh. She does not make sense to me. Kristen was irrelevant as anything. Carole is relatively pointless as well. Heather v. Bethenny will be interesting to see.

RHoBH Reunion Part 3... Brandi has said for some time that she was "vindicated" at the reunion and that the "agenda" turned on a dime at some point and she felt the audience would see what was "really" going on. Well, all I think Brandi needs to realize that unless one knows the definition of a word, then one should not use it. She wasn't vindicated at all. She was slaughtered and dragged around that set for 3 episodes like a rotting corpse. If anything, Brandi just sat there and took it like a beat down dog. Eileen was the MVP of the reunion. There is no disputing that. She didn't let anyone get away with anything and her memory is like a steel trap. I haven't seen Brandi get so demolished by a cast member at a reunion like that ever before. Lisa V sat back, relaxed and collected her cheque. And good for her, she dealt with a pile of bulls*t last season, this seasons return was clearly agreed to on the premise she'd have an easier time. And she did. She is always the Empress. Lisa R cried and that was a shame because she should have just exploded at Kim's stupid ass, but her tweets have been hilarious watching the show. The lawsuit one is an absolute classic. She nailed Kim to the wall with: "Why be on a reality show?" when it is evident Kim does not want to discuss reality. Kyle should just cut the cord with Kim because they're relationship is disgusting and evil and twisted and sick. But she's won't because they're family and that's understandable. Still, she's put up with a lot. Way too much in my opinion. Kim. She's a filthy addict and I hope karma's a bitch and headed her way. She is mean. Nasty. Bitter. And full of sh*t. She doesn't have a thing on any of these women. She just has innuendo and that has been blown to smithereens this season. How she handled her awful dog Kingsley biting Kyle's daughter was crazy and disgusting. The dog should be destroyed. Period. But somehow, in Kim's allegedly drunk/high head Kyle's daughter is less worthy than an animal. An animal that has attacked multiple people (she was finally served the lawsuit papers by the friend who got seriously attached and injured by Kingsley last year). Kim is enabled by Brandi and Kathy and they should be ashamed of themselves. Kim's pathetic life gave this season its storyline...but how sad is that when BH has to stoop to dealing with a child star falling off the wagon for the hundredth time. Kim plays fast and loose with sobriety and the truth. Kim doesn't actually want to discuss reality. She wants to get paid for making sh*t up about people. That's not what I'm watching for. I'm glad this season is over and I hope Bravo realizes that Kim and Brandi need to go before this show gets more toxic than it already is. Thank goodness for the additions of Eileen and Lisa R, I couldn't imagine enduring this season without them. I do wonder if Lisa V will return, she has a great life, she may be over this nonsense.

LOL

It's definitely Kelly.

Reiko on RH of Vancouver ended up leaving her husband for a lesbian DJ...so pretty darn close!

Miami and DC failed for Bravo's expectations and I think Bravo was very, very hesitant to kill either one because it damaged the RH brand. But they tried to retool Miami, and it still didn't work for them. Bravo should buy the rights to RHOV and air the two seasons as a single one in place of NJ until Teresa is out of the slammer.

RHOMelbourne Ouch...that dinner was painful for Gina. She showed her ass and had her ass handed to her by Jackie (and Janet...and Lydia...and Chyka to limited extents) so many times. Jackie exploded with rage and the unfortunate thing for Gina is that Jackie said things and knew things that Janet could confirm. The Morning Show comments about Gamble and Rick and the "let's toss the newbies under the bus" were nasty and all Gina said was no, she didn't say them...but deflected like crazy when Jackie said she'd take a lie detector test over them. Gina did not win that fight at all. Janet and Chyka and the Tea Master was interesting. Lydia's warning with Gamble was fair and measured. She's right that Gina's for Gina and that Gamble's for Gina. Gamble is naive and she'll undoubtedly ignore Lydia's perspective on things, likely at her own peril. Lydia seemed pretty nice (but VERY dim) when she met her housekeeper's family. Pettitfleur has some of the tackiest taste of any RH I've ever seen. And it's ironic that she sees herself as sophisticated when the simple fact of the matter is she looks like a hooker in 1980's Monte Carlo. Gamble is correct in her estimation of Pettifleur - and I say that as not a fan of Gamble. But she's right: Pettifleur is tacky, she's nasty, she's obnoxious, she interrogates her and she IS new money. Pettifleur is a incredibly rude and an ugly bitch. And it's interesting that none of the other women thought her interrogation with Gamble was appropriate; Lydia especially went at her for the financial comments. "And then suddenly there's Grace Jones and I think 'Wow, when did she arrive?'" - Gina. That made me laugh really hard. She is so quick. The discussion about the fat sucking machine is what makes RHOMelbourne unique: only Australians have the balls to talk about getting their muffin tops frozen into slimness. Pettifleur and her damn book: good lord we need to never hear about this effing book ever again. It isn't listed on Amazon Australia, it's nothing. Next week looks juicy with the photos of Gamble...hmmm!

You're right that Kim and Eileen never clicked - because Eileen had Kim's number from day one and Kim knew it...and that's when she started to hate Eileen. Eileen really didn't cross any of these women, she was the epitome of class this season: but she's icy and the moment they crossed her she looked at them with the disgust they deserve. Kim's ludicrous fake non-apology was absolutely awful. What a tacky bitch. Really, I don't think there has been an 'Eileen' on any of the RH franchises before...someone whose aloof enough to stay out of the mud, but smart enough to not let anyone get away with anything against her.

That's absolutely true. Certainly, some are worse than others, but a lot of what people watch the RH franchises for is confrontation so yes, they're all bullies, to one extent or another. I say good for Nene and I hope she saves her money because the RH ship is sinking and the sun is setting on her, and all the other housewives, relevance in a big way.
